| Description |
Description Terracotta figure of a Roman soldier subduing an armed warrior. A group, probably of Hadrian, in military dress but bare-headed, menacing with a sword a kneeling captive whom he grasps by the hair. The emperor wears a cuirass with shoulder-pieces and pteryges over a short tunic; a cingulum is knotted round his waist. He has arm-protectors and greaves and wears a bulla hanging round his neck. A diadem is worn, the tie of which hangs onto his right shoulder; an eagle or other raptor perches on his left shoulder. The captive is half-kneeling with his body and head to the front, and holds a sword and an oval shield. He wears a full beard, and long locks fall from his hair on both sides of his face. The group is set on a plain-faced plinth. The back is plain, with a ragged vent pierced through a circular depression produced in the mould. Hollow; two-piece mould. Micaceous orange-brown Nile silt with a red-brown surface; traces of a white dressing on the front. <a href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=399846&partId=1&searchText=terracotta+hadrian&page=1" rel="nofollow">www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collecti...</a> |
